Utterly Exasperated History of Modern Britain, An or Sixty Years Reviews

An engrossing and agonising read. And fortunately, a funny one too...The best historical harbingers are also comedians Independent on Sunday An enlightening run through the last 60 years of British history Woman & Home This very readable account of how 21st-Century Britain was made is a roller-coaster of a ride through fashion and fascism, terrorism and television, soccer and sex. Good Book Guide All history is subjective, while O'Farrell's take is comically so...Will bring a smile to grumpy old men everywhere. Daily Mirror
